The Rise of the Black Plain

Looking at Isabella, Minos saw the woman's internal organs appear as her aura rapidly weakened from Chaos' attack.

Chaos was dead, but before he died, he had torn the space inside Isabella's body, resulting in her body being split in half between her groin and neck!

She had narrowly missed having her head split into two vertical halves and almost died without a chance to say goodbye.

But even though she was still conscious, her situation was dire. With a large part of her body destroyed by Chaos, her chances of survival in the next few seconds were less than 0.01%!

The other women of Minos saw this and turned pale as they approached her, sensing that the worst was about to happen.

"Isabella..." Minos felt as if his heart had stopped beating for a moment, and he didn't know what to do.

"Attack!" The Mechanical Emperor shouted, fearing that Minos would kill more of them now that his wife was mortally wounded.

There was no way Isabella could be cured of what she had just suffered! Minos would surely enter a Berserk state in the next few moments, which would be terrible for the entire alien group.

Before that, the aliens had to ensure his death in the short time they had with Minos in shock and vulnerable to them.

Those who could escape their opponents moved against Minos, concentrating all their strength on killing him in what might be their last chance.

Isabella saw this as she fell from her position and gradually lost consciousness.

She said with difficulty. "Do not waste your time. Kill the enemies and protect our daughter. I have no regrets, my love."

She closed her eyes, and tears flowed from them as Minos began to manipulate time over her body.

'No! No, this can't be happening!' He despaired as he saw the enemies approaching and Isabella's large wound barely changing, even with his time manipulation.

That wasn't a simple wound that would close and save the woman's life by going back in time a few moments. That was the result of a powerful God's attack!

Minos was temporarily at level 100 because of the wings and the weapon in his hands. But his ability to manipulate time had not developed because of the help of that seraph's power. His current high-level abilities were only related to attacks!

So he found himself desperately trying to prevent the death of his wife and to deal with the many enemies who were now acting to kill him and his other two wives.

He closed his eyes for a moment, and tears flowed from them; for the first time since his father's death, he felt that he could do nothing to save the loved one right in front of him.

'I'm sorry.' He said into Isabella's mind with great difficulty as he used his mental power on her before she died, causing her to enter an illusion where they could talk longer than they could in the real world.

A second in the real world could be the equivalent of minutes within this illusion.

Appearing in a quiet, flowery place, Isabella found herself complete as she saw Minos' body materialize in front of her with a desolate expression on his face.

She didn't want to die, but she knew there was no escaping what Chaos had done. She smiled bitterly and said. "Do not cry. I was immensely happy at your side and had the gift of giving birth to Lily and watching her grow up."

She approached him and wiped away Minos' tears. "Now, you must be strong. You must keep Ruth, Abby, and Gloria safe. Don't waste this power, and take on as many enemies as you can. When the effects wear off, you'll have to flee."

"I know, but... Isabella... You're going to... I'm sorry. Forgive me for not protecting you." He looked at her hard, feeling guilty about everything. If it hadn't been for his weakness, for the risks he was willing to take, none of this would have happened.

"Don't think like that." She felt pain in her heart and despair that she couldn't be there for him and the rest of the family anymore.

But she knew her pain would soon be over, and it would be he who would suffer for her for who knew how long.

Isabella knew Minos well. She knew that to this day, he mourned the death of companions who had died more than 80 years ago. But what would he be like after her death? Unlike those companions, they had loved each other, lived together for decades, and even had a daughter.

She felt worse about how he would feel after today than the fact that she could no longer live.

"I'm the one who's sorry. Unfortunately, I won't be able to stay by your side... But I don't want you to change, Minos. You shouldn't change your ways or take any more risks. Just think of me from time to time. If there is an afterlife, I hope to see you again."

He cried like a child when he heard that and hugged her tightly as if that could prevent her from leaving this world.

But his mental technique had its limits, and with Isabella's death, he wouldn't be able to stay by her side for long.

Soon, the minutes in this illusion would end, and he would open his eyes back on the battlefield one second after using the Infinite Dream.

Unfortunately, the Infinite Dream couldn't be infinite until he actually became a God. Otherwise, even after Isabella's death, he would still be able to see her in such an illusion.

He didn't want to think about that right now. When he opened his eyes and saw Isabella's lifeless body fall into the sea, he moved as fast as before, using the temporary wings on his back to reach the three women crying at the edge of the battlefield.

He didn't hesitate to send them to the Spatial Kingdom before turning his attention to the 7 Gods in the area who had tried to take advantage of his weakness after Isabella's fatal wound.

He felt his heart beat faster, and the white wings on his back suddenly turned blood red.

Then he spun the staff in his hands, attacking the enemies in his path with the two moves he had left before the serath's aid faded.

Ominous pillars of light emerged from the sky, chasing after the enemy Gods, especially the Mechanical Emperor.

These pillars of light were menacing, carrying the same power that had killed Chaos!

If the alien Gods were hit by it, they would have no chance of survival!
